Excuse me but *toot* *toot* I'm #3!!!
So I had my annual performance evaluation yesterday.
Short background. I was laid off last August with 7 other people due to a budget shortfall and being the low man on the totem pole. I was awarded a special hiring status that meant that if I met the minimum qualifications I get the only interview. I got a new position within the same organization in October 2018 but in a completely different department. I basically took the position created FROM my current coworker away from her. She's a temp. They are working on hiring her (with benefits).
My boss and I sat down in the same meeting room where he was forced to hire me. At my 6 month eval during a "probationary period" (because who knows who you are getting) he lead with "You know we didn't want you here" and then told me I was doing a good job.
Yesterday it went like this's: "What I'm about to say is going to guide the rest of how we go through this. In 40 something years between the Army and here I can only think of two people who were as good at their job or better than you are."
He emailed me the evaluation to edit.
= new reply since forum marked as read
So does this mean you’ll be getting a raise? 
He was really impressed with how I handled the situation with the co-worker. She bosses HIM around and she's a temp.
See my response above about a new job.
Oh and stop being so anal.
